KENTUCKY TOWN.
WIcKLIFFE, KY., Dec 15.-For about four weeks
fire OF considerable proportions beneath the sur

800 yards OF the corporation limits. At first smoke
was noticed proceeding from an aperature In the
ground, and for a week or more little attention
WAS paid 10 A.. 1t has now become quite q large

faIne though generally IL Is only smOlderlng but
intense heat Parties digging near the IRE, and at
a depth OF from 70 feet found bed OF red-hot
cOolS at distance OF 30 feet from where the fire
was first seen. The substance which furnishes
fuel for this strange rre Is very oily and has
gaseous Odor, which Is observed by every one who
visits the place. Many are OF the opinion that IL
Is gas, others that IL Is bed OF coal on fire. Both
theories may be correct, the smoldering fire
suggests Ignite while tine flame that Is sometimes
smelied Indicates gas, OF OIL or both To say the
least, there is something very unusual about the
matter. and IL Is certainly worth an Investigation

Another Chicago Jail Sensation.

An ATTEHPr At ESCAPE THAI NEARLY SUCCEEDED.
sheriff MatSon In Chicago yesterday afternoon
came unconfOrtably near lamenting a cooler
escape from his custody than even that of McGan-
gle. There Is a barred room In the Jail where
prisoners hole their conferences with lawyers. A
number OF lawyers were in the apartment yester-
day afternoon, and among the prisoners admitted
was Edwin a. Burke, a Federal prisoner. He had
had his musttche shaved on during the day. 50
that his usual appearance was much changed.
When he got INTO the cage he turned his back upon
the guards ana remained seated for some time
cOnvefsing with the attorneys. While so seated
he slipped on long Oye-coat, which concealed his
customary dress. lie then appeared at the barred
gate. AT which Jailer FOZ was standing, with
printed business cari IN his hand. The Jailer

after the tail young lawyer. lie caught him,
turned HIN around, and discovered none other
than Burke. FOiz and a deputy pushed Burke
back into the cage. and into the dungeon, where
he will remain IN solitary confinement for several
days. Burkes crime Is robbery OF the mails

The ,I,ouR.horemeu,s strike.

NEW YORK, July .g-The strike OF the long.
shoremen on the North River promises TO be q
brief one. At the meeting OF the men held last
evening a large number of them expressed strong
opposition To its continuance. The men IN the
employ OF the National line are the only ones on
actual strike. They refused yesterday morning 10
work with a number Of non-union negroes EN-.
ployed by the company. All the longshoremen On
the North River on Monday night refused 70 do
further night work for less than 90 cents an
hour and they have done no night work since.
All OF them except the National line men, how.
ever, are working during the day. A committee OF
the men on the National line called on Superin.
tendent Andrews to-day and offered TO return TO
work for 20 cents an hour day work and a
cents an hour for night work, if the non-union
men We're discharged. Mr.. Andrews refused 70
discharge the non-unfon men.
This afternoon a number or the Union long.
shorenen or the National line returned 10 work
In company with the non-union men. Others
would have returned but there were not sufficient
vacancies for all The strike Is practically overs
at least as far as the National line Is concerned.

ECHOES FROM THE CONVENTION.
The Ticket Generally Considered a
Good One-SenatOr sherman Has
Gone Home to Mansfield.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
TOLEDO, OHIO, July 29.-Comparatively few
visiting statesmen remain at Toledo this morning.
The various hotels and places OF resort appear in
an almost deserted condition; but few people NOV
ing about because OF the general prostration by
the heat and the great work OF the past few days
Everybody about Toledo seems to have been
keyed up to the highest tension, and all have
worked with vtgor and intelligence, leaving moth
ing undone that would contribute to the cOnve-
nience OF the thousands present
THE GOOD WORK OF THE CONVENTION
The work OF yesterdays convention is generally
referred to as good, and the Endorsement OF Sena-
tor Sherman Is now freely conceded by many that
were honestly opposed to any reference to the
Presidency as wise and the best thing that could
have been done. The very weakness OF the oppo-
StlOn wnen the test came was most surprising to
those who had been made to believe that there
was in Ohio rank opposition to sherman, and that
tack without regard TO consequences on the sue
cess OF such a movement. The State ticket is
strong with one exception. Mr.. Lyon, the candi-
date for L1eutenant-Governor, was certainly the
weakest OF the three candidates for second place
The nomination or the SenatorS-Pringle or Con-
rad-would have been strong. Capt Lyons nomi-
nation was a bunder, and now IL is SO conceded
by nine out OF ten. The balance OF the ticket is
far above the average and will in a measure
sherman left last night for his home In Mansfield
While somewhat fatlgued, he stated that he never
felt better in his life. The presence OF the Sena-
tor In Toledo insured his Endorsement, as IL dis
armed many that We're opposed to the question
being presented to the convention.
